My voice was "ok," I could hold a note, but it was very limited. I chose Sophia based on all the superlative Yelp reviews she has received over the years. These have been borne out in spades by my experience working with her. I've now had over a year of weekly lessons and my voice has improved significantly. It has a wider range, more depth and fullness, and an overall better sound. Sophia is a teacher par excellence. I come away from each lesson inspired and encouraged. I am frequently awed by her extraordinary intelligence and ability to explain various concepts and techniques in concrete, easy-to-understand terms. She employs different modalities such as visualizations, catch phrases, or simple concrete directions about how to breathe, move my mouth, place my tongue, and adjust my posture to aid in my learning, which I find very effective. She is incredibly articulate, and I can tell she is able to readily adapt her explanations and approaches to the student's individual learning style and stage of learning. Indeed, she is never at a loss for words that effectively convey whatever she intends to communicate to the student. Moreover, Sophia is kind, patient, charming, and dynamic. I've felt at ease with her from the outset. It is obvious she truly cares about the student's learning and progress, and that she is passionate about teaching voice. In short, Sophia is a first-rate teacher, among the best of many I've had in my life, from elementary through graduate school. I have no doubt she would be a well-regarded teacher at the finest conservatories. Thank you Sophia!

What makes Wynde so unique is that they bring both technical expertise and a depth of inner work that allows them to hold a space that is truly safe, fierce, and healing. Our sessions helped me unlock parts of my voice I didn't even know were there. I found myself more playful, more willing to explore, and more able to trust the sound that wanted to come through me. Wynde encouraged me to listen closely, to let my voice move through breath and movement, and to form a relationship with the soundscape around me. These practices opened up not just my singing but also my creativity as an artist. I always left feeling lighter, more connected, and more in touch with myself. Wynde has the rare ability to meet you exactly where you are, whether you are working through something difficult or wanting to expand your artistic expression. They are a true healer and someone whose work is a gift to anyone fortunate enough to experience it.

I'll preface my long-windedness by saying that I've been a full-time entertainer in the Bay Area for almost a decade. I sing professionally with multiple groups, bands, booking agencies, and use my voice as a virtual game show host during the week. I make a living using my voice, but once upon a time that almost came crashing down around me. Way back in the spring of 2016 I developed a polyp on one of my vocal folds that threatened to end my budding music career. With a surgical date set for the fall I had to sing all year with a broken instrument. I didn't know if I would make it to the surgery date without it rupturing and causing long-term damage. Needless to say, it was beyond stressful. Thankfully, I fully healed. Coming out of recovery I committed to finding a truly great voice instructor, but that didn't come easily either. By taking multiple lessons from multiple teachers in the Bay Area, I quickly found out that the "methods" these teachers were implementing all conflicted with each other. Some methods felt like snake-oil, others' made me physically and mentally uncomfortable. Some of the teachers made me feel like they were trying to sell me a used car. I was so terrified of damaging myself again and so frustrated with these lessons that it was starting to feel hopeless. Finding Loryn was truly a gift. First of all, she's patient, kind, and PRESENT. Everyone knows how vulnerable it feels to sing in front of strangers, especially in an educational setting. I don't think I've ever felt that comfortable from the get-go with any other voice teacher. It was abundantly clear in our first lesson that she was fully engaged in hearing my story and helping. The more that I worked with her, the more impressed I became by her knowledge of the physiology around singing. She could diagnose tension and air obstruction before any sound left my body. She's so intuitive. I'm sure it would be easy for her to watch/listen to me and immediately pin-point some of the issues, but she allowed me to have those AH-HA moments on my own, often in her presence. Over the course of a year, my entire technique changed. We started from scratch and I cannot stress enough how important that time was for me. I was still performing while re-learning how to sing but I couldn't deny the progress that we were both hearing and seeing from week-to-week and month-to-month. At one point, I was so stressed out that I was preventing my body from creating healthy sounds. She was not only supportive and empathetic, but she gave me all of the resources that I needed to figure myself out. Before Loryn, I could sing two nights a week and I would be totally blown-out. After learning from Loryn, I'm singing five, sometimes six nights a week without tension, soreness, or much recovery time at all. She's magic! Loryn is a great communicator, a fantastic listener, and an enthusiastic, insightful teacher. It doesn't matter what level or amount of experience any singer has, they WILL learn something from Loryn. If you're a beginner, take a lesson with Loryn. If you've been singing for years, TAKE A LESSON WITH LORYN. As long as she has a studio, I will continue to send singers to her. I'll always be grateful for her.

My children have very different personalities and temperaments and Kristin knows how to work with each of them well. She has been a skilled, dedicated and inspiring teacher for both of my kids. Kristin is extremely positive and encouraging and demonstrates the much needed patience in working with children. She listens to them and also holds them accountable for their in class and out of class piano practice. She tries to pair the kids with other kids who are at their level or who will challenge them appropriately. I enjoy coming to her home space and observing the way she works with all of the kids in her studio. Kristin also uses technology well to help the kids practice via video and is easy to connect with outside of practice hours. I'm grateful I found such a kind and loving person to introduce music into my kids' lives. I like working with Kristin because she is patient and supportive. ~(my 8 yr. old).

I stopped lessons a while ago due to my own scheduling conflicts, but I still hope to restart one day--I miss working with her! Shari is not only highly trained professional vocal coach but also an all-around wonderful person. She has a unique ability to connect with her students, no matter their skill level. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced singer, Shari meets you where you are and helps you grow in ways you didn't think possible. Her lessons are thoughtfully tailored to your goals, style, and voice, and the improvements I saw in my singing were incredible - several of my friends even commented on it. Shari's guidance had such a noticeable impact on the quality of my voice, and every session with her was the highlight of my week. She's patient, supportive, and so encouraging. If you're looking for a vocal coach who is knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about singing and vocal performance, Shari is the one. I cannot recommend her enough!

Playing guitar is in my zone, but I am not a trained singer; hence, I started searching for singing coaches on the Internet. I found HEATHERVOX. She had a lot of positive reviews; hence, I scheduled a session with her; and, I am so happy I did. - She has a beautiful singing voice; and, she immediately assessed my singing competency baseline. - She immediately started me on vocal techniques that quickly controlled the movement of my neck, mouth, and vocal cords. Most importantly, she taught me the importance of relaxing the vocal cords throughout the octaves. - After 40 minutes of teaching proper singing techniques and using the techniques she taught me going up and down scales, it was time to apply the techniques to a song. - I sang, Here Comes The Sun, by the Beatles; and, I was amazed -- I immediately noticed the improvement in my singing -- now, don't get me wrong, it wasn't just "add boiling water and instant noodles" kind-of- thing, but it was a drastic and noticeable improvement in my singing voice. I still have a lot of work and practice to do. Now, I have more controlled volume, my voice is more robust, colorful, and dimensional, AND I am able to hit higher notes easier without strain. I was also amazed with the added tone quality Heather gave me through her singing techniques. Heather recorded my session; hence, I have a starting baseline of my singing voice. I can track my progress. I also have recordings of the techniques she taught me; so, I can replicate them while doing my homework. I have 6 months from today, 23-January-2025, to get my singing skills on-point; hence, I am 100% certain, working with Heather, will get me to my goal. I scheduled additional appointments with her, and she gave me homework and exercises to work on before my next session. I really enjoy the straw exercise -- extremely helpful. Finally, I like that Heather has good business ethics. She assessed my progress and gave me a class schedule that matched her forecast of my progress within the 6 months -- she didn't try to sell me more lessons than I needed. I'm very happy working with Heather to get me to my singing goals for this feature film. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino
